These articles explain what you should expect to see on your bill after you add or cancel a subscription and adjust the number of licenses.

When you add a new subscription, you see a prorated charge for the remaining days of that charge cycle.

On the other hand, we bill usage-based subscriptions based on the amount of service used during the billing period. This means you're charged according to your actual usage, providing flexibility.

With these differences in mind, you can manage your subscriptions more effectively and make informed decisions that best suit your needs. The goal is to help you understand your billing details clearly and manage your subscriptions effectively.
